Paul Phua Doubles into the Chip Lead

A huge double through for Paul Phua has propelled him into the chip lead three handed.  Matthias Eibinger opened to 160,000 on the button with [AsJd] and big blind Phua, with [AhQc], moved all in for 1,890,000.  Eibinger made the call and failed to outdraw Phua's bigger preflop ace on

Phua Bluffs Eibinger with Nut Low

The short stack three handed cannot be discounted when it's Paul Phua.  When Webster Lim folded his button, Matthias Eibinger raised in the small blind to 160,000 with [Kd3h], called by Phua with [2d3d].  Phua check-called Eibinger's 110,000 bet on the [5sTc6d] flop.  Both players checked the [7h] turn, and

Adrian Mateos Hits the Rail in 4th ($420,000)

The chips four-handed had become very unevenly split, with Adrian Mateos shortest on 445,000, Paul Phua with 895,000 and Lim and Eibinger on 2.5 million and 4.5 million apiece.  A hand occurred that wasn't raised preflop by either of these two: small blind Mateos took his chances moving all in

Last Six Pots to One of the Two Chip Leaders (Mainly Eibinger)

Five handed play is a quiet, fast-paced, affair.  There have been no flops for the last six hands, and every chip has been won by either Matthias Eibinger or Webster Lim.  Eibinger has been setting his short-stacked opponents all in repeatedly with no hands found to call so far. Recently he

Chip Leaders Tangle

Matthias Eibinger raised in the hijack to 120,000 with [TsTh], and Webster Lim, second in chips, three-bet him to 340,000 with [AdKh].  Eibinger made the call.  The flop was [9s8c2d]; Eibinger checked his overpair, Lim bet 240,000 and Eibinger jammed for 2,210,000.  Lim folded, and the Austrian extended his chip

“Start of the Spin” Double for Burns

Kahle Burns found himself in the unenviable position of going through the blinds super-short with no playable hand, folding [Tx4x] in the big blind to an under the gun raise from Matthias Eibinger (who held [AsKs]).  Able to survive one more orbit with no forced showdown, it was in the

Soyza Out on the Bubble After Eye-Watering River

It folded to Matthias Eibinger on the button. He paused, then moved his stack of 1,145,000 into the middle with [Ad2d].  Small blind Michael Soyza had woken up with the ace-dominating [AcKc] and called all in for nearly that amount (1,145,000). "That's not good," remarked Eibinger, and it looked just as

Eibinger Takes from Burns

Under the gun, Matthias Eibinger raised to 90,000 (from a stack of 740,000) with [AdKh].  It folded to big blind Kahle Burns, who made the call (from almost the same stack size) with [QdTc]. Flop: [Js5sKd].  Burns checked and Eibinger bet 100,000 with top pair; call. Turn: 5h.  Now Burns led out
